A container is an internationally standardised packing box for cargo in which goods can be safely stowed away, stored and transported. It is designed for the most efficient use of space and for any type of transportation, be it by road, rail or sea. Standard ocean shipping containers are weatherproof, made of steel or similar material, constructed to withstand the high forces to which they may be subjected in heavy seas, and usually designed and sized to permit their efficient interchange for connecting with intermodal systems for inland rail or highway movement. Shipping containers are available in a variety of configurations that include end opening, side opening, half heights, open top, flatrack, refrigerated, liquid bulk (tank), and modular (quadcon/tricon).

The English word shipment derives from Old English scip[pronounced ship], meaning a large seagoing vessel or water craft; this word later came to include the sense of sending goods by water. The -ment ending is a common way in English of creating a noun from a verb (as in payment, pavement, enjoyment).So in the strict sense, only goods transported by water can be "shipped" and only goods sent by ship are a "shipment". In modern American usage, the history of the word is ignored and it is applied to any method of sending goods.
